Thus, the need for improvement still exists.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The invention has been made in an effort to solve the problems of the conventional art including being relatively complicated in construction and difficult of securing to a neck of the bottle by providing a water bottle having novel and nonobvious characteristics.

To achieve above and other objects of the invention, the invention provides a water bottle comprising a spout including a neck having at least one first lug formed integrally with the neck wherein the first lug includes a first hole.

Preferably, further comprises a container including a body having at least one second lug formed integrally with the body wherein the second lug includes a second hole.

Preferably, the spout is provided on the container, further comprising a strap hung on the container and the spout respectively, and a cap releasably secured to the neck, and wherein two ends of the strap are hung on the first lug and the second lug respectively.

Preferably, the strap includes two rings at two ends respectively, the rings being hung on the first lug and the second lug respectively.

Preferably, the body includes a hollow handle having two ends communicating with contents in the body, and a channel disposed between the handle and the body.

Preferably, the container further comprises a cylindrical padded member disposed on the handle for increasing a degree of comfort to the hand holding the handle.

Preferably, further comprises an anti-skid bowl-shaped member secured to a bottom of the body, and wherein the anti-skid bowl-shaped member is made of rubber or plastics.

Preferably, further comprises a reflective sticker adhered to the body.

Preferably, the neck is externally threaded and the cap is internally threaded and threadedly secured to the externally threaded neck.

Preferably, the spout further comprises a support ring disposed in the neck and a replaceable filter disposed on the support ring.

The invention has the following advantageous effects in comparison with the prior art: in movement, the individual may wear the strap on the body draping from one shoulder to the waist or carry the strap by the hand. In storage, the individual may hang the strap on a hook of a wall.

The above and other objects, features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description taken with the accompanying drawings.
